When Bernie Parent jumped to the WHA, he signed with the Miami Screaming Eagles. Because of finances and arena issues, the team relocated almost immediately to Philadelphia (Blazers). Parent, who prior to this played for the Flyers, enjoyed Philadelphia but had contract issues with the Blazers and refused to play for them. He didn't want to return to Toronto, who held his NHL rights, so the Leafs traded him back to the Flyers because Parent preferred to stay in Philadelphia and the Flyers wanted Parent back. So, it can be said that MiamiScreamingEagles helped the Flyers win two Cups.

Great story! I've never heard the story behind your name. Not quite sure why I haven't, but it's a good one!

mine's an NFG song (yeah, I'm into pop punk). It's not even a favorite song or anything. I could just never come up with one I liked enough so it was kinda like "point with my eyes closed." If i ever figure anything better out, i'll change it...

Agree with CG on this one. I should not be surprised at such an awesome origin to your name!
